I absolutely love the elder scrolls series, but I cant help feeling that oblivion lacks certain freedoms that existed in the likes of Morrowind. For example, items you find are dynamic to your current skill level, making it impossible to acquire exotic items early on. If a character has an exotic item or armour, killing them reveals that they no longer have it on their person, so you cant get it unless paying for it fairly, etc. You also cant sell stolen goods like you could in morrowind. The map is also too contrived, being in a circular format, making it too simple and easy to explore. So I do find that the essential element of “freedom” is heavily interferred with on this one.

I belive your crashes are due to your system overheating and the like. Also, people who buy this game for the PS3 will encounter none of the above difficulties.

Well what level is your guy at?

It becomes more and more common to find on random roaming NPC’s the hirgher your level becomes, quite rare to start with though and if you do find anyone wearing it in the early stages of the game they will probably just boot your head right out your arse and so you won’t be getting it by force at that point.

Gotta earn it to wear it.

Single/Team arena battles would be cool, but the game itself would increase by the millions if they would make it Multi-coop. Considering everyone would have a choice of multiple different types of characters ranging from assassin to Straight Summoner. I’ve beat the game on the hardest difficulty since lvl 1, making this game an mmorpg would be a miracle non-the-less

I really agree with “Concerned Citizen” (the second guy to post), and with kobejonez. Multiplayer would be awesome, but this game is still one of the best ever.

What would be cool is if they added multiplayer arena battles(single and team).

Could ofcourse also be related to the fact that Oblivion stresses the hardware up to a certain extent that other games you tried don’t do yet

I’d try to play the game one time with the 360 standing completely in the open, and if it still occurs I’d consider swapping it through support.

Could be, but probably not as this is the only game to do it.

I have experienced not a single crash myself during many hours of gameplay. Are you sure this is not related to your hardware setup causing heat problems?

As for the loading times, that’s in our ‘cons’ as “the world could’ve been more seamless”.

8 bit loading times and a tendency to crash once every 30mins, spoil this other wise superb game. 8/10 would be my score(cos these issues are v annoying)

this is probably the most amazing single player game in the history of man. Or at least the most immersive. This is second only to Halo 2 in terms of “must own” or “must buy.” It is the most exciting game I have ever played and I wished I had the PGR3 photo mode about a million times already…gorgeous..so gorgeous.

What armor is that the character is wearing?

By: Curry

10/10 is reserved for perfect games, or at best games with flaws that don’t matter. The screwed up battle music that ruins surprise attacks, the too frequent loads, and the frequent framedrops simply make this game less than perfect. Which is perfectly illustrated by 9/10. Must buy, but could’ve been better.

Seriously, This game deserves 1000/10, The graphics are simply amazing, gameplays is a joy, amount of quests is endless. The minor bugs are completely overshadowed by the sheer awesomeness. I personally am not much of an RPG fan, but this game proved that RPG’s aren’t just for lamers. Bethesda did an amazing job, and your review is a disgrace.

Pretty much agreed 100%.

My ACROMONK would own any of your silly cookie-cutter classes any day of the week.
